Shipium had an incredible year because our customers had an incredible year. We measure our success based on the achievements and happiness of our customers, first and foremost. By that measure, the platform performed better than anyone could have hoped. Now that it’s January 2024, here is a breakdown of some interesting numbers, factoids, and stories about Shipium in 2023.
Taking on the burden of surcharge management
It’s that magical time of year again when most of us are preparing for the holidays, the new year with identifying new resolutions, and ensuring our best that we’re ready to start off the new year strong and prepared for whatever may come our way. Some are also preparing for holiday breaks yet only after situating what’s needed for the new year. Even with the most dedicated intentions, we can’t be completely prepared as we all learned from COVID-19. And that’s okay as we can’t control everything yet we can plan and implement preparations to help us do our best. In the shipping industry, the new year reminds us of contract rate renewals with new rates for shipments and surcharges. An opportunity to negotiate better rates for our businesses and build relationships that will allow us to partner well as we move through the new year together.
